Concerned - too much skin sucked into the pump leads to turkey neck

Hey guys, I could use some advice. I recently bought a 2 inch lapdist cylinder and have been pumping with it for the past couple of weeks, at around 4hg. However, I’m a little worried that I purchased one too wide.

I’ve always had balls that ride a little high, but during my manual stretch/jelqs the past few months I’ve gained a little bit of turkey neck. Pumping seems to exasperate this as the cylinder sucks up a whole bunch of the turkey neck skin in order to properly seal (and pack the bottom inch of the tube or so). This makes pumping marginally uncomfortable, but only at the base where this turkey neck is. The rest of my cock gets pumped up, but is in no way packing the tube. Rather, it touches the top in places, due to putting the tube on during erection. I would really like to avoid any further turkey neck/extra skin as it causes my cock to look smaller (more padding I guess, especially with tight balls).

Would it be feasible to drop down to a 1.75 Lapdist cylinder for the time being?

Sugoi,

Yes to the 1.75” cylinder. If you use the most appropriate sized cylinder to pump, you’ll minimize the extra stretch happening on your ballsac skin because you’ll get a good seal at the base.

Okay.. With that in mind is there anyone who would perhaps have 1.75” (by 9 or 10”) Lapdist cylinder they no longer need and would be willing to sell?

I guess the biggest problem I’ve been having is having greater midshaft and head girth than base girth. I’ll drop down to the 1.75 and see how that goes.

Thanks Peforeal!

I sometimes get this as well. I’m not sure where I read this now, but pump up to about 1 or 2” Hg then rotate the tube a quarter turn. This seems to make the seal tighter and doesn’t suck up any loose skin.

One way I’ve found to stop the balls getting sucked up is to strap them up with the cock strap I got with my kaplan pump. This keeps them and the skin well away from the tube and so reduces the skin suckage by quite some way (although a bit of skin still gets sucked in).

This seems to be the most effective way I’ve found. That’s the trouble with having my size somewhere in between being suitable for a 1.75” and a 2.00” tube. Although since I’ve started water pumping I’ve been packing the tube most of the time, which makes me glad I didn’t opt for the 1.75 tube.

Are you talking about the adjustable leather strap with the steel buttons?? That goes in the tube as well, or is the tube butted up to the edges?

Yeah that’s the one, with the poppers. Not sure what you mean by butted up to the edges, but it doesn’t go into the tube. The strap just goes round the balls (pretty tight) and the cock goes into the tube on it’s own. When you start to pump, the skin is held away from the tube because the balls are kept away. It has the same effect as pulling your balls away as you start to pump, but needs no hands. After a few seconds the base swells enough to pack the tube (especially water pumping) and there’s no more worries. I do keep the strap on afterwards though, saves having to put it back on between sets.

Hope that makes some sense.

Sugoi,

If this is not too late, just to make sure the 1.75 tube will be right for you, what is your erect girth?

Keep the lube off the skin you don’t want pulled in, and also take a clean wet washrag and hold down on the scrotum while pumping to keep it from being pulled up and into the tube.

Lordbase, good to see you again: I take it you’re back in the UK?

As for tube sizing, it depends on your goals. A smaller diameter tube will be packed more quickly. When it does get packed, the emphasis will be on length. Larger diameter tubes are not as easily packed and will give more results in the girth department.

Myself, I’ve been using an oversized tube for years now, and due to the “sucking in” effect, I now have huge balls & scrotum. I dont mind it, but if you do, go with the smaller diameter.

Thanks everyone!

GlandMaster - I wouldn’t mind if it didn’t grow the skin so “high” so to speak. It creates a lot of wrinkly padding, making my dick look smaller even though it’s getting larger! I think this is because my balls naturally ride high. I will try getting some of those straps lordbase talked about to stretch out the skin a little, but I worry that my balls themselves refuse to move down even if there was plenty of skin. A short vas deference, maybe?

Gprent- My erect girth varies from 5.0-5.5, and is largest in the midshaft and head area. I think the lack of base girth is the main issue at hand?

Also, I don’t have much of a fat pad, so when I pump it almost feels like it’s trying to suck up a lig! I have to release pressure and reposition if this happens.

Sugs:

I had the same condition as yourself, and I’ve got a real set of low hangers now. Having said that, I think the 1¾” tube would probably be a better size. 4hg sounds like it might be too much pressure for you: think about backing off a bit.

With regards to BG, a lot of hangers report a dramatic increase in BG: the “tree roots effect”.

I guess the question you have to ask yourself is: “What do I want to work on? Base Girth? Length? Overall Girth?”.

GM,

Yeah, back home in the uk now. Living with the gf having lots of fun. Mainly pumping and a bit of jelqing. Hopefully get some new pics up sooner or later (probably later though).

Ok, I get it. I thought you were somehow using the strap as a cock ring while pumping.
